"It is a SCAM!

John Carmack explains why this is useless crap for gaming in an interview with PC Perspective.

The landscape they show in their demo is ridiculously repetitive, though already one year ago sceptics explained that this hinted at one of the greatest shortcomings of UD. Euclideon had one year to prove their critics wrong. They didn't.

Euclideon wants to make people believe that their engine can do higher resolution than other voxel engines. But resolution on voxel engines is limited by storage and RAM capacity for everyone. And as entropy sets a limit to compression, Euclideon also can't do anything more there than others.

So to prove their "unlimited detail" claim they designed this repetitive landscape, that can easily be compressed.

But they can't do trillions of voxels with a artist-designed map.

To put it short: They are no way better than any polygon based engine and they are much worse than other voxel engines like Atomontage."
